I’m looking to increase the memory in my system – I frequently run 80 to 90% of my memory with video editing, lots of Chrome windows, video encoding, etc.
My question is: what product can I purchase that will work and give me the most memory possible – or at least double the memory in the most cost effective way. Please be specific much as a Newegg or Amazon link. Thanks... Dave
Here are my details...
I currently have 8GB (4x2GB) of
G.SKILL Trident 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-4GBTD -- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231259
My OS is 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium (I plan on going to Win 10 64-bit (via new install) at some point soon.
My motherboard is: ASUS P7P55D EVO LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard:

Here is a link to my motherboard manual:

Page 2-11 talks about memory configurations – most of which I don’t understand – the whole section goes to page 2-18.
My CPU – in case it matters: Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80605I7860
